Stewart-Haas Racing named Smith the driver of the No. 41 in Sunday’s race at Atlanta Motor Speedway after he finished 16th in the car at last weekend’s Daytona 500.

Smith is a former Sprint Cup driver who now drives full-time in the Xfinity Series for JR Motorsports.

Despite selecting Smith to replace Busch for two straight weekends, SHR hasn’t named a driver for any race past Atlanta.

NASCAR suspended Busch indefinitely after a Kent County (Delaware) Family Court commissioner ruled Busch committed an act of domestic violence on his ex-girlfriend Patricia Driscoll. Busch has since tried to appeal twice but lost both times.
